Mayor Westcott this morning made the following appointments of members of the Board of Public Instruction: George D. Borton, D, First ward; Samuel Iszard, R, Second ward; Chas. H. Ellis, Jr., R, Sixth ward, and James Hanson, Jr., D, Seventh ward. Messrs. Borton, Iezard and Ellis are reappointments. Mr. Hanson succeeds Charles Hewston of the Seventh ward, whose term expires to-day. The new member is an oilcloth printer with a highly honorable record, his appointment giving great satisfaction all around. The Mayor also announced the following new appointments on the police force: First ward—James Elberson, Chas. Wilbur, Samuel H. Sheer. Third ward—John Sinclair, E. D. Steen. Fifth ward—Albert Shaw, Charles Fitzsimmons. Sixth ward—Abraham Jackson. Seventh ward—Alfred Sayres, Edward Hyde. Eighth ward—Thomas Buchanan, Jacob A. Hicks, the latter colored. No appointments were announced in the Second and Ninth wards. Policeman Tommy Reed, of the Second ward, sent in his resignation last night. Peall, of the Second, and Thomas, of the Third, are expected to follow suit to-day. In fact, the Mayor has asked for the resignations of all the holdovers of the Police Commission, with the exception of House Sergeant John Beard, of the Second ward, who, besides being a good officer, knows how to mind his p's and q's. The Mayor thinks he will have to dismiss Mullane and Painter, as they give no sign of submitting gracefully. Harry Miller, of the Third ward, will be allowed to remain until May 1st on account of the recent loss of his child. It is said that Charley Sink will not get there in the Ninth. Billy Fish is said to have the inside track. Wm. Ripley, of the Seventh ward, made a good and faithful policeman, and was fired like the rest, but it is said will not go back right away. Sam Sheer was a "cop" under ex-Mayor Ayres and ought to know the ropes. Harry Richmond, of the Fourth ward, will not resign. He says he will make them prefer charges. Well, Bob Miller was fired because he only had one eye. My! but what a lot of men there are in this town who would like to wear helmets!
